Maybe I have to turn in my nerd card now, but I'm no more comfortable with memorializing Gary Gygax than I am with a marble statue of John Wayne or Madonna. Prima facie, I don't see this as anything but another example of going too far in deifying celebrities and glorifying entertainment at the expense of more important things.
You're probably also against the Robocop statue in Detroit, aren't you? Philistine.
Unless you can train yourself to deal with autohide - I wasn't able to until I started using my laptop regularly, and now everything except my HTPC uses it.
Um, Top Secret documents can't be sent via email! The highest classification allowed is Secret and it must be encrypted. My company deals with classified docs all the time.
Assuming you are right, when this hypothetical guy got Top Secret docs in his email, it was then automatic proof he was a hacker. How else would he have gotten it? Don't even need a trial, no government employee would ever make a mistake!
Why is it that whenever someone does anything incredibly illegal on the job on behalf of ones employer in public service, the best one can hope for is that they're fired?
Because we can't even get them fired for this kind of shit, let alone anything they actually deserve. Baby steps, you know.
I can't imagine anyone playing through something 3 times for someone else willingly with the only goal of unlocking it when you can just toss a file on instead.
To be fair to him, it is Mario Kart, so maybe this was just his excuse to his wife to play it again. "I'm sorry, Honey, I can't mow the lawn, Amanda wants to play Bowser's Castle 2!"
"We could have attacked Nintendo but we chose not to because we actually quite like them but hate you?"
I think it was more, "Look, Sony, we hacked Nintendo just as easily, but they don't have terabytes of customer data stored in plaintext for us to steal, dumbfucks!"
It's practical when you are already in the hospital because you had one heart attack or stroke and are at extremely high risk for another in the following 72 hours.

you got pussy they got, well, they know who gary gygax is. I'll take the pussy 7 days a week.
Clearly you've never played DnD.
If the memorial isn't a 10-foot, bronze D20, I'm going to be very upset.
I'd have an armed guard and an air-gap.
Always make sure you're better armed and trained than your guard. They're only human and are corruptible.
Pfft. I'll just fit mine with heart plugs.
I prefer "abuse@ftc.gov" for my spam traps, as it provides a nice self-reporting feature. "These nails taste irony" - and irony tastes good.
And I think my leftover mod points disappeared less than an hour ago. Damn.
Yeah, go ahead and form your "union". You will quickly find out just how replaceable you are.
He's just following Apple's lead - if you can't even replace batteries, certainly you can't replace employees.
Yes because kids have so much disposable income.
Be sure to inform Saturday Morning cartoons of this.
We would if they still existed.

Yeah, I can see the "Sony Cares" ad. . . it's right after the "Gore/Bigfoot 2012" ad during the Super Bowl.
Obama wasn't elected?

Well, that's lame. Sounds like a good reason to teach the five-year-old daughter how to install a mod chip!

... or because you can't backup licenses in Mario Kart Wii.
FYI, you can copy your data to an SD card, and then just remove the card.
But then why would anyone bother to become a cop?
Really, this shit gets +5 insightful?
Clearly slashdotters have not always had the best experiences with the boys in blue.
I wonder when its my turn to get a barrel pressed against my head for the greater good of society.
Probably going to be November 6, 2012.
the cops could have avoided all that trouble
Yes, by not shooting people or threatening witnesses at gunpoint.
But then why would anyone bother to become a cop?
There're still plenty of drug dealers to shake down and prostitutes to extort free sex from.
Or vice versa.
I will be very impressed if you can elucidate the "privacy laws" he violated.

They seem to happen most on my iPhone, and only on certain articles. Very annoying.
Would that be the articles about MacDefender?
Many, many shows these days have great ship effects. But I have yet to see a show where the CGI aliens don't look like CGI aliens to me.
Juveniles born after the early 80's are much less likely to become juvenile delinquents than juveniles born before that period.
I would like to thank G.I. Joe for that change. After all, knowing is half the battle!
